Great to meet you!

It is important to be kind to yourself. You deserve to feel whole, empowered, and free from the weight of past pain. I offer a safe space to explore your story, untangle old wounds, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we'll navigate what's holding you back and make space for what's possible. Yo hablo ESPAÑOL y se lo importante que es poder expresar las emociones en su lenguaje y con exactitud.

My approach to therapy

Counseling can be essential during challenging life transitions such as divorce, family or friendship breakdowns, the loss of a loved one, relocating to a new country or state, significant changes in job, or lifestyle. I incorporate CBT, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy with a client-centered approach working in collaboration with the client.

What you can expect from me

I believe that a strong and trusting bond in counseling allows the client to feel comfortable and secure in sharing thoughts and feelings which allows a process of healing and personal growth. I adopt a client centered approach, working collaboratively with clients to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and objectives.
